I continued working on my ARPG with Astra. I added some lore, quests, items and ofc gory combat. Reworked some of the environments and implemented the first two fully procedural areas of Act 1. What do you think of the progress so far?

I looks nice! I am creating a very similar game actually,

oh nice it looks awesome!

Generic and soulless. Nothing wrong with using AI but you need to be a good game designer and director to make something worthwhile with them. This is just point-and-click swing a sword and walk around simulator. Nothing particularly interesting.

It’s a fun side project i made in 4 days dawg not the next baldurs gate chill 😂

@diathial That's what it's about. I'm having more fun making "slop" games and apps than playing regular games.

@diathial And that’s all that matters honestly

Immediate feedback, I am kind of tired of the dual orb aesthetic for health and mana.

I’m all ears for ideas tbh

Did a quick concept Grok Imagine render. Instead of Orbs, maybe mini portrait of the characters physical and spiritual self?

That is just off top of my head. Mainly it just makes me think of every other game I've seen the orbs in. Makes it feel samey to me, but is a super minor thing.

Is this Diablo v?

🤣 it'll be its own franchise

Bro, it's looking 🔥

thanks man had a lot of fun building it so far i'll def continue on it, maybe i can put a demo out :)

For sure. Love to learn how your building the art work out too, it looks class. If you haven't shared already.

Looks good, reminds me of Diablo 2/Dark Eden

love d2 its def an inspo

The firelight and little market stalls make the town feel like somewhere you'd actually want to return between runs.

thanks happy to hear you like it

Looks great!

Reminds me of Bastion art. Looks like it can be a lot of fun if the story is solid

Let’s see how far I can get I’ll try to make a demo to get some feedback

impressive

thanks

I would play it. Send me a link to test it.

I will share one

just getting into solo game deving using all AI. I'm loving that I can now ACTUALLY build the games that I had written off as 'it was a nice thought anyway'. Looking forward to seeing you progress on your game!

bro very cool. It reminded me a little of Ultima Online

Looks nice!

a modern divine divinity

very good work

Ty

Graphics generally fine but it's whether you can sell it as something with an interesting story/appealing world or whether it would look like a soulless AI slop. I think this may have potential on mobile market/steam deck as a casual RPG.

Are you using Astra through the API or through a chat GPT plan? Interested in how much it's costing you to make a game with it I found I can't do more than a couple of prompts in a 5-hour period without going over my usage.

I’m using it on the 20x sub

I still cant figure out how animations work with astra its giving me horrible results

Yeah animations aren’t great tbh I’m dealing with the same

Its horrendous , day and night fro. What was being Heavily being demoed lol

using blender?

everything is 100% procedurally generated by astra, i haven't done any modeling for this

Only astra ? Nice !

yup 100%

No blender or other AI tools ? Music / SFX ?

nope, zero other tools for music and sfx i just asked astra to find and download cc0 assets

Oh super cool :)

looks like a dog shit

How the fuck did you generate a consistent character with different animations and the next part is the most important have gear equip and show. Every single model I’ve been trying this and still get stuck on it and even with astra all I did was waste all my usage trying.

Prompt it to create a skeleton for the character and then tell it the animation set you want. For equippable items tbh i didn’t do anything special it just got it right

It looks like what it is, an AI-generated Diablo clone.

Impressive @georgevibing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I'm developing a Merge PvP Battle, I left Antigravity with Gemini agents aside and migrated to Codex with Astra. Result = Today I got my MVP award in a few hours (my usage limits are gone, but it was all worth it). I'll return to the project on the 19th, when the resource reset occurs. Your project is inspiring, I hope you finish it and get it on the main app stores or Steam. I would definitely buy it to play.

Looking really good. What a fun project!

who needs Diablo when u can build ur own

adding procedural areas is a huge step, it really boosts replayability for players

看起来像暗黑破化神

Nice art.

Love it

How did you do the ground / terrain and paths or roads?

It’s all astra generated textures and logic
